Criminals in Charge

I am in possession of an e-mail that raises serious questions.

1) What type of criminal background check is performed before hiring and training Perry County Sheriff's deputies and staff?
2) If the deputies couldn't be hired to work in a daycare should we allow them the power of a badge and a gun?

The allegations in the e-mail name very specific names and very specific incidents related to members of our Sheriff's department. The information ranges from serious sexual crimes to abuse charges to run of the mill criminal enterprises like drugs and theft. The e-mail even suggests family ties to the largest drug maker in the county. I am going to work on finding more information for each of the specific named individuals and if I can find additional evidence of wrong doing will list the specific charges.

Will the Sheriff investigate his own? If not, will Prosecutor Jegley, or the Arkansas State Police?

That remains to be seen.
